Six candidates to participate in historic 2008 S.C. GOP Presidential Candidates Debate (No Hunter)

I’m glad I saw your post. I’m sure that I recall Duncan Hunter spending at least an entire month last Summer campaigning in Iowa. Yet, this past week, his supporters have said he never went there. But he did, so why deny it? Thanks for validating that Hunter did campaign there.

Hunter spent a total of 3 days campaigning in Iowa prior to the straw poll. He has not spend a month anywhere. But thanks for the bump

So much for divvvvvvvvversity and incluuuuuuuuusion and the much heralded "BIG TENT"-ism (including everyone) within the Grand Old Party.

Expanding the GOP and all that crap, doncha know.

Then the Party expects solid conservatives to be on board with them in the General Election to support a Republican In Name Only? What is wrong with this picture.

I get the circular, Catch 22 logic here. Deny coverage and black out the candidate's voice and picture and name (make him an asterik), he polls low, and, well, because he polls low, deny him further coverage. Great system. The only reason this is done is become he is an unquestionable conservative.

I would get retired military and family members of military in SC to start calling the SC GOP and FOX News in masse and demand the debate be opened to Congressman Hunter.

According to this link, 27 events/14 days spent in Iowa, not a whole month but more than 3 days.

“They come, handwringing to us in late October, PLEADING FOR US TO VOTE FOR THE GOP NOMINEE, otherwise they say the election will go to the big bad Democrats.”

Just like they can’t give us any excuse now except ‘My guy can beat hillary!!” That covers 4 candidates. They all think that and it’s their biggest talking point. That and insults, rumors, marginalization. And that’s what you’ll get in October. They won’t plead, they won’t be nice, they’ll be just as despicable as they’ve always been.

I’ll vote for Obama before I’ll vote for Rudy, McCain or Huckabee. He can beat her. Then ‘the Kennedy Wing of the Republican party’ can finally get what they wished for....someone who can beat Hillary as the only qualification for office.

[pissant]

I believe that to be incorrect, though he did make it there for the debates.

[Clemenza]

Duncan who?

They decided that actually having a delegate from comming in THIRD in Wyoming and wining the South Carolina Straw Poll is not relevant. The decision of independent voters in NH is more important that the voters in SC.

ChiCom Murdoch thinks he can decide our future.

[Little_GTO]

Except the South Carolina Republicans didn't mention "nationally recognized", did they?

No, they did't. I did. I was giving you a hint.

And how does that get measured?

That's the question I asked you to answer. I originally asked you to come up with other ways other then polls and previous primary results.

But there's little in their criteria that would count as "dirty tricks" or any other conspiracy.

Many Hunter supporters disagree.

Should the NFL decide who gets in the playoffs based on the results of the exhibition season and the first three games?

[rmlew]

They are criteria that have nothing to do with South Carolina.
Hunter almost won the SC Straw Poll and came in third in Wyoming. Allowing independent New Hampshirites decide things for South Carolina is ridiculous.

“Everybody’s unavailable.

What a bunch of cowards!

SC is proud of their heritage.

Tell them they’re acting like doormats for elite New Yorkers and shafting a military veteran for a liberal pos.”

I am FURIOUS!

We can always leave a message on their machine, and ask our friends to, as well.

I told Fox News and Rob Godfrey ANSWERING MACHINES that Duncan Hunter fought for our freedom of speech, and so did his son, so Hunter should also be allowed free speech.

Here’s the info again for those interested in helping:

“Contact: Rob Godfrey, SC GOP Communications Director
803.807.7144

The SC GOP main number: Phone: 803.988.8440

Fox News: 1-888-369-4762.”

[rmlew]

Why New Hampshire, which allows non-Republicans to vote, over Wyoming which is Republican only?
Why ignore delegates?
The Criteria stink and would have stunk if they kept out any other serious candidate.

Good for you, Sun.

Fox is worthless.

[AmericanInTokyo]

People from US Military Bases in Japan (Yokota, Yokosuka, Atsugi NAF, Sasebo, Misawa, Sagamihara, Negishi, etc) on active duty, hailing from the Palmetto State (on their off hours, of course, and from personal laptops) will be sending their protests to the GOP in SC. Will be interesting to see what the response is.

[fetal heart beats by 21st day]

Not me, and I will do more than that.

I will defame the libs, R and D, every chance I get.

I want DC cleaned out.

Time to start over.

[meyer]

The party and the mainstream media (including FOX) have ignored Hunter from day one. This leaves Fred as the sole conservative and he isn’t exactly setting the campaign trail on fire either.

[Guenevere]

bump your post.....exactly why this election is a farce

[pissant]

Nor is Fox treating Fred fairly.
